Dear Roxanne
a love poem in 50 words
By Justin BlackPublished 2 years ago • Updated 2 years ago • 1 min read
Roxanne,
I can still feel that old city inside me
The breathless walk home
A heart I thought broken
barely breaking in
To this life
On rushing waters
And your first breath against my chest
The city caught fire
A sacrifice born from the truest love
I have ever known
